Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Madagascar Emperor sighting in Mantadia National Park on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 11th most-seen of the 24 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, May, October and December
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Madagascar Emperor in Mantadia National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, April and June–September, the lowest months.
Between 11 am and 2 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Madagascar Emperor sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Mantadia National Park, in our data
Mantadia National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Madagascar Emperor sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same order: Odonata
The closest relatives of the Madagascar Emperor that you can see in Mantadia National Park (order Odonata, Dragonflies and Damselflies) are Madagascar Jungleskimmer (about 40%), Madagascar Demoiselle (about 40%) and Broad Skimmer (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Madagascar Emperor is recorded against all the insects logged in Mantadia National Park (10 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
